A kit's install commands run with root privileges inside the sandbox, so limiting where kits come from reduces supply-chain risk. By default, only kits hosted on Docker Hub (docker.io/) are allowed. Loading a kit from any other source fails\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ sbx run claude --kit \"git+https://github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib.git#dir=vale\"\nERROR: resolve kits: kit \"git+https://github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib.git#dir=vale\" cannot be installed — its source is not in your allowlist.\n```\n\nTo allow another publisher, add its host or host/path prefix to the kit.allowedSources setting. The setting replaces the whole list, so include the entries you want to keep\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ sbx settings set kit.allowedSources '[\"docker.io/\",\"github.com/docker/\"]'\n```\n\nEntries match as prefixes on a path-segment boundary, so github.com/docker/ allows github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib but not github.com/docker-evil/kit. To remove the restriction and allow any remote source, set the list to [\"\"]. This isn't recommended.\n\nInstalling from a local directory or ZIP file is governed separately by the kit.allowLocalKits setting, which defaults to true. Set it to false to require a remote source\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n$ sbx settings set kit.allowLocalKits false\n```\n\nFor non-interactive use, both settings have environment-variable equivalents: DOCKER_SANDBOXES_KIT_ALLOWED_SOURCES and DOCKER_SANDBOXES_KIT_ALLOW_LOCAL.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
